Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The far right is on the rise across the world. From Modi's India to Bolsonaro's Brazil and Erdogan's Turkey, fascism is not a horror that we have left in the past; it is a recurring nightmare that is happening again - and we need to find a better way to fight it.

In How to Stop Fascism, Paul Mason offers a radical, hopeful blueprint for resisting and defeating the new far right. The book is both a chilling portrait of contemporary fascism and a compelling history of the fascist phenomenon: its psychological roots, political theories and genocidal logic. Fascism, Mason powerfully argues, is a symptom of capitalist failure, and it has haunted us throughout the 20th century.

History shows us the conditions that breed fascism and how it can be successfully overcome. But it is up to us in the present to challenge it, and time is running out. From the ashes of COVID-19, we have an opportunity to create a fairer, more equal society. To do so, we must ask ourselves: what kind of world do we want to live in? And what are we going to do about it?

An important book which describes fascism both past and present, and how it can be stopped. Paul Mason talks about the origins of fascism and how it has and still does appeal to people. He explains the dangers it holds, and how to spot its rise. Moreover, as the title says, he tells how it can be stopped. Whether you are interested in politics and history or not, this is an important book to understand. Fantastically researched with thorough analysis, it comes highly recommended.

A must read if you want a good, well written and not super academic read on anti fascism and why it is everything that matters today.I really loved this book, and the narration is also excellent.

One of the greatest essays I've ever read
